Under normal circumstances, it would rain before dark clouds would form, and then thunder and lightning might occur. Moreover, the changes in the celestial phenomena are a large area and have to be brewed over a long period of time. But at this time, the black clouds over the mountain range came very suddenly, and the lightning only fell in the same place, which was obviously abnormal.

"This desert is so dry, there are no lakes and grass for hundreds of miles, it can't rain, right?"

Lu Xin looked up at the sky and spoke, his brows furrowed terribly. Monk Yan Cen stopped what he was doing, and then took the words.

"This is the Tiger Demon's Heavenly Tribulation, which will appear once every seventy-seven forty-nine years. No wonder he would go into the city today and plunder the people. It should be that after the catastrophe is over, the flesh and blood of people will be densely clothed. ”

"Apocalypse? The cultivation of the tiger demon has reached the point where it can cause a heavenly tribulation? ”

Lu Xin's face changed slightly, the Heavenly Tribulation was an obstacle from Heaven to cultivators. In other words, God doesn't like the creatures on the earth, and he cultivates to the point where he can have the ability to fly to the heavens and the earth, and even break through the space and ascend to the upper realm. Therefore, in the process of cultivating souls, all kinds of calamities and punishments will be sent down to hinder the cultivation. Li Chunfeng once said that if the Onmyoji cultivates to a certain level, it will attract thunder tribulation. But the first thunder tribulation will also come down when it is in the Great Perfection of the Guiwei Realm and needs to break through to the Divine Realm. If the Tiger Demon's cultivation was already strong enough to cause a thunder tribulation, then how could he be its opponent?

Monk Yan Cen seemed to see Lu Xin's concern, bent down and buried the last palm talisman into the sand, and motioned for Lu Xin to sit down.

"Demons are different from humans, the demon clan is strong in flesh and has a long lifespan. Compared to our Terrans, it has many advantages. If the way of heaven is fair, more punishments will be sent down to hinder the cultivation of monsters. The thunder tribulation that occurred once in 7749 years was the transformation of the Heavenly Thunder against the Tiger Demon Body and the Dharma Mixed Heaven Xuangong that it cultivated. With his cultivation, the thunder tribulation should be able to be overcome. But after the thunder tribulation, he must have suffered a great loss of vitality, and it was the weakest moment in his life. Now I understand why Xuanzang asked you and me to go into the mountains to collect demons in the past two days. ”

After Monk Yan Cen finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes. In comparison, his expression was obviously much more relaxed. Lu Xin also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, the weaker the tiger demon, the safer he is. The emergence of the Heavenly Tribulation is undoubtedly a favorable phenomenon. But in the same way, if Xuanzang even knows that the tiger demon wants to cross the catastrophe. Then this monk's Taoism is too terrifying.

The thunderclouds over the mountains lasted for about half an hour before slowly dispersing. The sky was back to normal, but the sunlight was noticeably fading. After that, Monk Yan Cen waited for another hour before he stood up and motioned for Lu Xin to follow. The two walked towards the mountains in the distance, and although there was nothing to do all the way, the young man's heart was still hanging. What if the tiger demon has already eaten the little monkey? What if, the tiger demon that survived the catastrophe becomes even more powerful?

Lu Xin is actually not a sentimental person, but when there are too many worries in his heart, the burden on his back will naturally be heavy. The little monkey has a life-saving grace for him, and if he can't bring it out of the hands of the tiger demon, Lu Xin will be uneasy for the rest of his life.

According to Monk Yan Cen, the mountain range in front of him is called Tulong Mountain, which is the largest and only mountain in this desert. It is about 100 miles long from east to west, and the highest mountain is called Tiger Roaring Peak, which is also the location of the Tiger Demon Lair and Batu Cave.

The terrain of Tulong Mountain is not steep, and there is little grass and trees. For onmyoji like Lu Xin and Monk Yan Cen, the road up the mountain is not difficult. At the beginning of the Shen period, the two of them walked to the Batu Cave. At this time, the sun has already had the momentum of setting in the west, and the yang energy between heaven and earth is gradually weakening.

Monk Yan Cen paused for a moment in front of the entrance of the cave, and used a golden pigment to draw a Buddhist talisman on Lu Xin's chest. It is said to be the mantra of the Tiger Arhat, which has a powerful Buddha power. Lu Xin asked himself if his cultivation was insufficient, and the Youxian Sword had been taken away by Nai Hetian, so it was whatever the old monk tossed.

"Alright, let me in, and be careful."

Batu Caves is a naturally occurring wind-formed cave on Tiger Roaring Peak, which is not uncommon in arid desert areas. The diameter of the cave was four or five meters wide, and as soon as Lu Xin entered, he felt a cool breeze coming. And the moisture in the air is very abundant. In other words, there is a water source in this cave.

The road under your feet is always sloping downward, and the deeper you go, the worse the smell becomes. About five hundred meters from the entrance of the cave, a large number of bones began to appear on the ground. There are animals and there are people. Knowing this time, Lu Xin really understood the horror of monsters.

"When I arrived, I turned the corner in front of me, and it was the tiger demon's lair. I think he should have discovered you and me, too. ”

Monk Yan Cen suddenly stopped, pointed to a little light not far away, and said. When Lu Xin heard this, the light around the corner flickered and dimmed, like a candle blown by the wind, fluttering in the wind and rain, and would be extinguished at any time. He was about to urge Monk Yan Cen to continue walking, but just as he was about to speak, a breathtaking smile sounded in his ears.

"Boom...... Monk Yan Cen came today to drink a bowl of delicious human broth with this king. Or did you come to show mercy and take these people away? If it's the latter, this king thinks that you are probably not far from meeting the Lord of the Western Heavens. ”

After the hideous laughter, Lu Xin almost didn't come back to his senses when he was lifted into the air by a huge force, and then he couldn't help but say something and flew quickly forward. By the time he fell back to the ground, he was already on the other side of the corner. When I got up and looked around, I saw a huge cave with a radius of more than 100 steps. In the center, a large pot is set up, and the soup is boiling and tumbling. A middle-aged man dressed in black was sitting casually on the stone in front of the pot. His hair was long, almost up to the waist. The eyebrows are like peaks, the pupils are like abysses, and the momentum is so strong that it is really unfathomable.

In addition, behind the man in black, there were five people lying down, and the little monkey was among them, but I didn't know if it was life or death. Lu Xin was a little excited, and took a step forward suddenly, but was immediately blocked by Monk Yan Cen reaching out.

"My Buddhism takes it as my responsibility to purify all sentient beings, and I never kill innocents indiscriminately. You are already a successful demon king, and you are no longer confused. Feeding on people is, after all, contrary to the harmony of heaven. ”

"Oh? Then the master said, "What should I do?" In front of you, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot? Hahaha...... I heard these words countless times a hundred years ago. Yan Cen, since you have torn up the old testament of the year, then don't blame this king for turning his face and being ruthless. Today, I'm going to cook you two first! ”
